7:33 - Ed Sheeran STILL gets love from the UK rap scene, he's got a track with Stormzy, Aitch, and Jaykae called Take Me Back To London (Sir Spyro Remix.)
3:45 - It's aimed at his ex-manager who tried to make him more marketable by making him more vanilla and Ed clapped back after saying no and staying himself. It's basically an industry critique overall but there are specific shots at the ex-manager and the sort of hyper-polished acts that the labels do retain and push.
What a lot of people outside of the uk don’t really know about Ed is that he came up in the uk grime scene when he was first starting out. When he finally broke the US he was seen a just another ‘pop’ singer, but damn his back catalog and earlier work is on point
11:36 - Yeah, Ed's working his magic here. That elemental chaos bringing up the energy with layers and layers of complexity approaching that perfect oneness out of which he drops into "Red." And then as he comes out of the little prayer, he drops right back into building up the magic again.
Words become redundant when trying to explain just how talented this man is! Just when you are thinking he’s had his day and won’t better the last song or album he comes out with another banger! I remember seeing this when it came out and it blew me away at the time and still does today!
When Ed Sheeran was unsigned he was playing all the lical venues in East Anglia My son used to follow him and he always spent time with fans My son asked if he would play music at his wedding He said if he was free yes He got signed just beforehand so couldn't but he always seems to be friendly and straight forward
Ed is definitely one of the most talented artist out today. When you go to a concert it's done mostly on a loop pedal, created that night in front of you and then erased. Every concert is it's own entity. You don't get that canned pre-recorded stuff that all the other artist are doing. Check out F64, its a tribute to Jamal (his best friend that helped launch his career but passed away unexpectedly).
16:31 - Fuck anyone who gives you grief over enjoying, pausing, and wheeling it up. This is your channel, we're here for your reactions. If anyone has a problem with it, they can fuck off and watch the original video.
Ed is a one man band! And one of the most grounded musicians ever, its music for him not £££ 🇬🇧 and Ed has bought half a village where he grew up and still lives
Haha! Loved your reaction man. Took me back to the first time I heard it about 10 years ago. I was like, "WTF Ed Sheeran can rap??? AND he's actually good??!!!"... 🤣
19:52 - "Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio" (Reference to the movie Hook where after Peter Pan left to grow up Rufio was in charge of the Lost Boys.)
Feels so good to watch someone realize why we all love and respect him so much. I don’t think anyone on the charts next to him right now can do what he does (or have tried, at least). He’s a musical beast and an incredibly humble guy. He also songwriters and produces for a ton of other top artists. And yes, he used to couch crash when he was a young songwriter that no one knew, so he has been “homeless” before.
He said you say I'm up and coming like I'm in a fucking elevator. Meaning you say I'm up and coming but I'm already fucking there! Already famous, not fucking as in sex. 😂 Brilliant
Saw him live a few years ago, Bloodstream was epic live, just him alone on stage with his loop peddle. (Live iheart radio theater.) Loved Castle on the hill, just one of my personal favourites.
Dude… To see a whole other side of Ed Sheeran, check out where he came from. This is a clip of him going back to his roots “ the great British bar off ft Devlin” ua-cam.com/video/dwa5yjlJ9t4/v-deo.htmlsi=d0FWro7w1zQ4BK_q
Yeah Ed started in the Rap busking scene way back check some tunes with an artist called devlin, they're as real as you can get.❤from the UK 🇬🇧 oh yeah he lived on Devlins couch! Now you know!😂
speaking of ariana, you should reallyyy watch her layering her vocals for the positions album. not as intense as this session of course, but she does a lot of her own production as well :)
Apparently the time he did actually live on a couch. It was Jay-Z's couch though so probably a decent couch. This is just what I read when I started to wonder the same thing, so I do not know how reliable this info is.
as for his rapping skills - you should check his "Eraser F64 live" video. Honest lyrics, great singing/rapping, and both singing and video filmin was done in one take! Video link ua-cam.com/video/pb2fwx4O_Ks/v-deo.htmlsi=LuDmfOU_f99RUP-k

It won’t be popular, but Ed has a lot in common with Ren - musically gifted - honed with thousands of hours of practice.
Being hip hop but still being true to themselves 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
I always think if Ren didn’t catch Lyme and continue the contract with Sony then he would become another Ed Sheeran
He wrote this when he was 15 and couch surfing. Definitely has houses now
9:37 - From "In Da Club" to Laid Blak's "Red". He is showing respect to the songs that informed his come up, and he's doing it his own way.
Oh hell yeah! This is my favorite song and performance by Ed Sheeran.

Actually just watch ANY live Ed sheeran performance...his live performances are on another level...his soul comes out everytime, every song
Truth!!!
Sounds like someone needs to react to the Great British Bar Off with Dev and Ed
Omg yes!!!!
16:28 - I love how much the resonates with you too! Yeah it's just flawless and masterclass.
I have so much respect for Ed Sheeran!!! I think he's amazing and this song is so sick!! ❤❤
At that time he was living on his mate's sofa. His mate died last year, Ed wrote a song about him. Worth a watch 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
Yes f64
One of my faves by him.. hits me in the gut!!
Words become redundant when trying to explain just how talented this man is!
Just when you are thinking he’s had his day and won’t better the last song or album he comes out with another banger!

My son asked if he would play music at his wedding
He said if he was free yes
He got signed just beforehand so couldn't but he always seems to be friendly and straight forward
Yeah. What you said. 🤯 I watched him and Devlin... wicked stunned. I could do with more. I'm not scared, I'll listen.
I live 3 miles away from Ed! 🔵⚪️ He mentions a county called Suffolk in the UK in this song. Went to the same school although not at the same time! 😂
damn that's wild haha give him a high five from me if you ever get the chance. Small world man
I watched him performed it live just yesterday as encore after 2.5h straight singing nonstop and trust me this man doesn’t need to breath😂

This version has been in my playlist for years. He is so talented.
13:05 - Check out his video of Live at the Ruby Sessions- Ed Sheeran - Don't/Loyal/No Diggity/The Next Episode/Nina

Exactly.

HES TALKING ABOUT ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY 😡😡😡😂😂ED HAS BEEN A HALL OF FAMER SINCE HE WAS A TEENAGER ❤GREAT REACTION SIR
His Colab #6 cd has tracks w/ Eminin, 50 & sooo many artists.
Haha! Loved your reaction man. Took me back to the first time I heard it about 10 years ago. I was like, "WTF Ed Sheeran can rap??? AND he's actually good??!!!"... 🤣
Devlin and Ed Sheeran -great British bar off
Your audio output is excellent 👍

Hahahahhahaa wow
Knew you'd love this one! Check out the great british bar off with Devlin. They just released it a few weeks ago.
Saw him live a few years ago, Bloodstream was epic live, just him alone on stage with his loop peddle. (Live iheart radio theater.) Loved Castle on the hill, just one of my personal favourites.
Haha bro i loved this genuine reaction. you are fire dude.
Hey thanks for that 🙏
Good work, Chris 👍
right
Please watch Ed's Eraser live performance.
will have to get to that one.. thank you
Only person better and more talented than Ed, ia Ed next week.
this was from a long time ago. He has a BIG house now.
Don't get me Ed is very talented and I love him but my Ren is so brilliant but still delivering and still spending 5 days a week in a clinic ❤❤
Room for both. Ed isn’t cool in the UK, but no denying his talent and his work with Devlin - used to ignore Ed, but since Ren - I’m digging him more.
Don’t feel bad. I’m in England and I had no idea Ed could rap. Check out Devlin x Ed Sheeran The Great British Bar Off next 🔥😀👍
If you like this...gimme love and bloodstream live..utterly amazing for just vocals, acoustic guitar, and loop pedal!

Check out his F-64, a tribute to his friend/brother Jamal
He's got mad skills. Done a lot of stuff with Eminem they're pretty close by all accounts. His earlier stuff is really good
You should check also out a newer Ed rapping video: Devlin x Ed Sheeran The Great British Bar Off.
One of my favorite songs and this live session is fire. Please check out Be my Husband Nina Simone, same session
speaking of ariana, you should reallyyy watch her layering her vocals for the positions album. not as intense as this session of course, but she does a lot of her own production as well :)
Already been said but you have to react to Ed & Devlin Great British Bar off, also check out Lewi Walsh - Young Guns ft Ed, Devlin, Griminal & Yasmin
Apparently the time he did actually live on a couch. It was Jay-Z's couch though so probably a decent couch. This is just what I read when I started to wonder the same thing, so I do not know how reliable this info is.
SELL A BIT, not celibate! 😂 Also, this was recorded in 2011 or 2012, so things have definitely changed for Ed. He now owns a lot of property. :-)
Hahahaha I’ve got you
If you like ed rappping react to eraser
the f64 version is really good and longer than the original too
as for his rapping skills - you should check his "Eraser F64 live" video.
Honest lyrics, great singing/rapping, and both singing and video filmin was done in one take!
Video link ua-cam.com/video/pb2fwx4O_Ks/v-deo.htmlsi=LuDmfOU_f99RUP-k
Perhaps you'd like to check out Ed Sheeran live with John Mayer performing Don't. It's a great performance but it's not rap...
Great reaction to ed, but chill with the Ariana slander, have you heard that woman’s voice
I mean amazing voice sure but I’m questioning how much she is involved in the musical creation and how much music skill and talent she has
